During a panel appearance at 90s Con in Hartford, Conn., on Saturday, March 29, Magnificent Seven members Dominique Moceanu and Shannon Miller opened up about their experiences growing up in sports and why it's so important to both of them that aspiring gymnasts today have the support and protection they need.
While neither Moceanu nor Miller was directly abused by Larry Nassar, the former team doctor of the United States' women's national gymnastics team who was convicted of sexually abusing female gymnasts, Moceanu's outspoken stance against the abusive methods of her own coaches led to her becoming a source of support for survivors of Nassar's abuse.

Interestingly, Miller didn't have to deal with abusive coaches; as she put it, "gymnastics was a very healthy outlet for me."
"Yes, look for those red flags, but there's so many great lessons and life lessons and confidence and self-esteem and all these great things that come from sports," Miller said.
